Sad. Sad. Sad. People escaping the poverty, endless wars, tribal hatred and BAD government of African nations.

In the past we hid in the wheels of aeroplanes destined for anywhere OUTSIDE Africa. Before that it was the SLAVE trade that took our ancestors away. And now its "sailing" in a dingy over treacherous seas with babies and children in tow!

What is the AU doing about it?
